Haha...what the?

Is it just me or does that not make any sense?

I think it's an attempt to be humourous like the Bulldogs but, instead, has backfired horribly. Not to mention the atrocious grammar.

Think we'll see a fair few clubs trying to be funny like the Dogs were.

The concept is fine. Like I get that. Their five year plans are s**t and so is haircut. But the delivery is as tough to watch as Levi lining up from 25m out directly in front

Daisy has to be cut loose. Still living off a solid season many moons ago.
Since Boyd saluted with a flag last season Thomas has to have the title for highest paid for least output.

 

[Gak Attack]

The very rare moment all 3 of my sports teams won their last game.

Long year for Carlton. We weren't great and still think we should have won by 5 goals more.

 

[Gosha]

We are really bad but Carlton are going to have a tough season

Looking forward to watching Dusty with JOM and Mitchell next year

 

[jd2010]

I'd go for him over Fyfe. The off field stuff is nothing compared to Swann etc. he just looks like he is trouble because of the tatts

 

[BluesMan]

As long as we're getting games into the young lads, I'm not overly fussed. Many seem to think we would go forward this year, but given the list turn around and the amount of inexperience playing , im not sure what else you could expect

 

[Art Vandelay_]

So the Pies punted a high paid VFL forward (Cloke) and now have a high paid (and much worse) VFL forward (Mayne).
Still can't believe he's on that much money lol.

I agree

We've got Gubby Allen to thank

Yep agree with this. I think we overachieved in terms of wins last season (plus essendon and freo being temporarily shite helped) so any less than 7 this year will probably be labelled as a "failure" by the media but I couldn't give a s**t to be honest. I just want to see something like 10 under-23 players in the best 22 by seasons end and I'll be happy with what we've done.

Richmond fans banging on about how good Cotchin was last night. F*** our supporters are deluded.

If he leaves he will go to North.

 

[Magma]

i think everyone laughed when they saw mayne as an emergency.

 

[chef]

I think it'll be a cracking game. Collingwoods got a pretty good midfield on paper. They should have a big advantage in the ruck now that the rules changed too.

 

[Buckleys Jocks]

I think it'll be a cracking game.

I think so too, both games last season were rippers. I'm just hoping to avoid a repeat of last years round one humiliation though tbh.

Are you going?

Nup. Working today and tomoz so no chance to get there. I generally only make it to Sunday games nowadays(or the occasional Saturday) and for some strange reason we've only got 3 this season

Last seasons games were close hey, you should have knocked us off in the first one but injuries robbed you. I think we're still a bit undone so you're a fair chance to cause an upset.

He's already signed for Sydney.

Yeah when some suggested you'd win up to 8 games this year I was a bit surprised.
